Stone Mountain is the centerpiece of Stone Mountain State Park. It is a dome of exposed granite (specifically a quartz diorite to granodiorite) of Devonian age, which has intruded into the gneiss of the Precambrian Alligator Back Formation. It rises sharply over 600 feet (183 m) above the surrounding terrain. The mountain, which has an elevation of 2,305 feet (706 m) above sea level, is known for its barren sides and distinctive brown-gray color, and can be seen for miles. The mountain offers some of the best rock climbing in North Carolina, and the park's creeks and streams feature excellent brook trout fishing.

- Stone Mountain is een berg van het type inselberg in Alleghany County en Wilkes County in de Amerikaanse staat North Carolina. De berg is het middelpunt van Stone Mountain State Park, een koepel van de blootgestelde graniet (in het bijzonder een kwarts dioriet aan granodioriet) uit de tijd van het Devoon, die heeft ingebroken in het gneis van het Precambrium Alligator Back Formation. Het stijgt fors met meer dan 183 meter boven het omliggende terrein uit. De berg, die een hoogte van 706 meter boven zeeniveau heeft, staat bekend om zijn kale zijkanten en opvallende bruin-grijze kleur, en kan kilometers ver worden gezien. De berg biedt een aantal van de beste rotsklimmogelijkheden in North Carolina. (nl)

The mountain offers some of the best rock climbing in North Carolina, and the park's creeks and streams feature excellent brook trout fishing. Because the mountain is the best example of a monadnock in massive granite in North Carolina it was designated a National Natural Landmark in May 1974. (en)
